Asalaam aleikum,
I am an American of European descent, and my husband is African. We currently reside in the US, but plan to go back to Africa to live one day. The relationship we share is the most meaningful, and the most challenging, relationship I have ever had in my life. I think our capacity to bridge our differences and truly understand each other, in spite of our varied culture/background, etc. has been key to this. I agree that finding a mate who is similar in regards to personal deen is probably the most important factor. Practicing love and patience, regardless of your culture or ethnicity, goes a long way towards building a strong family.
